South Main Street over Piscataquog River

Manchester, New Hampshire

This bridge carries two-way traffic, with one lane of traffic in each direction, and is on one of Manchester's busiest streets; therefore traffic control played an important role in the design process for the rehabilitation of this historic twin stone arch bridge built in 1894.
